Thanks guys...
Doug - Yeah, I've been really shocked by the HEQ5. Its taken everything I've thrown at it without missing a beat.. Next time I wont hesitate pushing out to 30 minutes to see what happens.. I must say I think tracking accuracy is due to the fact that my guide setup has a higher Arcsec : Pixel ratio than my imager.. so sub-pixel guiding is less than 1/4 of a pixel in the final image... This does make for very nice looking stars.
Greg - Cheers mate, Yes finally I think Im getting somewhere with all of this!
Andrew - These were taken with the Starshoot Pro.. My only little quarrel with the camera is that it is a little noisy.. Darks help, but more exposure, as always, helps more...
I'll get it eventually
Now... Onto something I think is rather interesting..
I took the 2 hours OSC data I got last new moon, and combined it with the 2 hours Ha data from last night giving me a HaRGB image that I'm fairly pleased with.. Looking for input though..
12x600sec OSC + 6x1200sec Ha, Manually aligned then processed in Photoshop CS4
Will add links to high res images in under an hour..
Thanks again for the kind comments so far.
